I'm a Brit living in the US using US keyboard but sometimes you need to type a £ or a € symbol (etc).

On a standard keyboard you can hold down the ALT key and type the four digits of the decimal of the ASCII code (or unicode, etc). £ = ALT+0163 € = ALT+0128 etc, etc. I believe you have to use the digits on the numeric key pad for this to work

That's pretty useful. Will that work on the TextBlade or is some other similar approach available?

(If you want to see the codes, look at "Insert - Symbol" in MS Word. Those are the right codes to use)

Yep, and it'll be extended a few more weeks. It's one of several perq's for early adopters. Not sure at the moment when they'll end it, but they'll decide that soon. There's a very cool futureproofing guarantee too.

Crunchy - accented characters are supported with MultiMap. English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish and others will be supported by MultiMap templates in the library. You can also remap any key at will.

The alt key is supported with strike gestures, and you can map that to bring up accents if you choose. But we have an alternative method that you may like better. We think it's easier.

You can read more about MultiMap on its detail page in the store, and also on the international supoort thread in this forum (the most popular thread).

Sounds good. If I understand, the symbol is supported out of the box, but maybe not the exact key combination. That's fine by me. I just need the symbols.

Also, will I be able to switch between languages (in my case, Chinese, Japanese, and English)? I don't need the keys mapped in any particular manner specific to these languages, because they can be input using a regular keyboard layout, but I'd like to easily switch between languages. At the moment, on the Mac, I use CMD + spacebar two switch among languages. If I understand what you are saying, I can remap the keys to accomplish this as well, right?
